$75 off right now.

Open-ear headphones solve a problem regular earbuds create: you keep your music without shutting out the street, the office, or the trail. The catch has always been price, and JBL's entry in this category has spent most of the year sitting near $165.

JBL Soundgear Sense Wireless Open-Ear Headphones drops to $89.95 - save $75. That is 45 percent off, and it lands below the $99.95 the pair has touched as its lowest point on record.

Get This Deal

The 30-day and 90-day averages both sit at $164.95, so this price runs about $75 under what buyers have paid all summer. For just $89.95, down from its list price of $164.95, the Soundgear Sense undercuts nearly everything else in the open-ear bracket. The 180-day average of $164.30 tells the same story: this is the lowest this model has gone.

What You're Getting

The design keeps your ears unobstructed, so you hear your audio and your surroundings at the same time. JBL rates the pair at 4.2 stars across 558 reviews.

Who This Is For

Best for runners, cyclists, and commuters who need to stay aware of traffic and their environment while listening. It also fits anyone who finds in-ear buds uncomfortable over long stretches, since these rest on the ear rather than inside it.

If you want deep noise isolation for flights or loud rooms, open-ear is the wrong tool and you should look elsewhere.

The Caveat

Open-ear headphones trade bass isolation for awareness, so expect less low-end punch than a sealed design. The 6-hour battery is fine for a day of use but not for a cross-country trip without the case.

Final Verdict

For $75 less than buyers paid all summer. This is the moment to grab a pair if open-ear awareness is what you have been waiting for. Anyone who needs isolation should pass, but for runners and commuters the price is right.
